Stephen King’s IT: The French Book Covers That Need to Be Seen

This is either the greatest thing I have ever seen, or the worst … I just haven’t decided yet. I’m assuming in France they released IT in three volumes and to make collecting them a little more ‘fun’ they commissioned one large image to be painted that could spread across all three covers. The end

Friday The 13th has arrived! All this week I’ve been counting down my favorite posters from the Friday movies and now we’ve reached the big day AND my number one choice.

Countdown to Friday the 13th: My Top Five Posters – Thursday

One more day to go! All this week I’ve been counting down my five favorite Friday posters and today’s penultimate entry is the classy and surprisingly awesome image they used for the 2009 remake. I’m always wary of remakes … I get defensive of the original movies they are based on and I almost ‘expect’

Happy Birthday Robert Englund: Time to Party Like Freddy!

It’s hard to imagine now, but there was once a time in my youth when I only knew Robert Englund as an actor because of his role as Willie, the gentle, friendly Alien from the epic 1980s Sci-Fi show V. But it was a contrast that just proved to me (even as a kid), what

Bite-sized Birthday Love: Ted Levine

Ted Levine has had a long, varied and distinguished acting career but I’m sorry … the guy will always be Buffalo Bill to me. Horror is full of psychopaths, serial killers, murderers and individuals the movies want you to fear, but every now and then a performance just climbs above the rest and leaves an

The Poughkeepsie Tapes: Bite-sized Praise

My mind places me in the victims situation and I automatically start considering how I might act

The new Showtime horror series Penny Dreadful needs no gimmicks. The writing, acting, production, etc. are already top-notch. However, in addition to that, there is a wonderfully open-ended sustainability to the show that they’ve set up. They’ve already shown us vampires, ghosts (?), Frankenstein’s monster, and other possible creatures with an only partially-linear construct to
